After just 4 months on the job, Coach of Rio de Janeiro’s tri-color team Fluminense was fired
“Sharpened guillotine,” said globoesporte.com website.
“Carlos Alberto Parreira is no longer trainer of Fluminense. The decision was agreed by the club’s board and sponsor this Monday morning,” said a statement on the club’s website (www.fluminense.com.br).
After 5 matches without a single victory and a loss on Sunday to a sub-par team the wrath of Brazilian Soccer Culture came down hard and struck the trainer with the mighty blow of being canned.
Parreira, who steered Brazil to World Cup victory in 1994 and was also at the helm in the 2006 finals in Germany, was in his third spell at “Flu”, the team he has referred to as being closest to his heart.
RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) - The Brazilian wife of former Canadian world boxing champion Arturo Gatti has been charged with his murder, police said Sunday.
Italian-born Gatti, who was 37, was found dead Saturday in the holiday flat the couple had rented in the northern Brazilian seaside resort of Porto de Galinhas.
Amada Rodrigues, 23, was being held in custody in the Atlantic port city of Recife, capital of Pernambuco state, police said.
“She is the only suspect,” a spokesman for Pernambuco police told Reuters by telephone.
Gatti was IBF super featherweight champion in 1995 and WBC super lightweight champion in 2004. He retired in 2007.
The search through the remains of Flight 447 were re-inforced this Wednesday with the arrival of five French naval ships one being a nuclear submarine cable of picking up the ping of the black box. Two of the ships are deep sea salvage ships and the Fairemont equiped with 40 tons of equipment to assist in the search and retrieval process.
Outside of the 400 military personel France has devoted to the search process, Wednesday Frances has sent two high level investigators
This evening, the rumors were confirmed as Kaka will play football next season at the Bernabeau, signing a six year deal with Real Madrid. The transfer will cost Real €65 million, the second most expensive transaction in history after Zinedine Zidane’s transfer in 2001. Many of us would have loved to see Kaka finish his career in Milan, but the return of Florentino Perez as president of Real changed all of that.
For AC Milan, which lost €70 million last year, this presents an opportunity to rebuild and upgrade an aging squad. Real Madrid, after stumbling through the Ramon Calderon era and marred by overpaying for the above average player, this is a return to the Galactico era and a return to the prestige that made them the world’s elite club. Although the cost was steep, Real has bagged one of the world’s three best players.
For Kaka, the pressure will be immense to perform and stay fit. A second place finish for Real is still in the works unless the club addresses its gaping hole in its central defense. This pressure is something a world class champion like Kaka will undoubtedly meet. I don’t think Kaka could have gone wrong whatever way he chose. At the very minimum, at least Marcelo will have a compatriot in the first team. I would love to hear some comments about whether you believe this was the right or wrong move.
Brazil’s defense chief says military planes have found a 3-mile swath of wreckage in the Atlantic Ocean, confirming that an Air France jet carrying 228 people crashed in the sea, The Associated Press is reporting.
Defense Minister Nelson Jobim said the discovery “confirms that the plane went down in that area” hundreds of miles from the archipelago of Fernando de Noronha.
He said the wreckage included metallic and nonmetallic pieces, but did not describe them in detail. No bodies were spotted.
The Los Angeles Times reports that the ocean is two miles deep at the crash site, which will make recovery of the data and voice recorders difficult.
Five Brazilian navy ships are expected to reach the area by tonight. The Pentagon has sent a P-3 surveillance aircraft and 21-member rescue crew to assist.
New Finds Catapult Brazil Oil Producing Status
With Exxon Mobil’s new oil discovery off the coast of Brazil the South American nation has taken another giant step in its quest to become a global energy superpower.
Exxon’s Azulao-1 well tapped a reservoir that reportedly contains as much as 8 billion barrels of recoverable oil, says Luiz Lemos, a partner at TozziniFreire Advogados, a Brazilian law firm that represents foreign energy companies. It was Petrobras that first triggered the rush on Brazil’s energy sector when, in November 2007, the company announced the Tupi discovery - an underwater field that could contain as much as 80 billion barrels of oil equivalent.
This new Azulao find will rival the nearby Tupi oil field as the largest discovery on this side of the planet since Mexico’s Canarell field was discovered in 1976.
Last year, Haroldo Lima, the head of Brazil’s National Petroleum Agency, said Carioca could hold 33 billion barrels of oil and gas. Upon hearing the news, brokers and analysts rushed to tell their clients that Brazil, as one minister put it just months ago, was about to become the “new Saudi Arabia.”
